Chapter 7

The busy working day came to an end, and Sharon headed back to her house. She felt slightly tired.

Riley finished work earlier than Sharon, so she helped her out and picked Sebastian up from the kindergarten.

"You're back? Was everything fine on your first day of work?" Riley asked.

Sharon glanced at her. "Why didn’t you tell me that Zachary’s family own Central Corporation?"

"That means you bumped into Simon? How was it? Isn't he a handsome one?"

Sharon glared at her peevishly. "What does he being handsome have anything to do with me? He's Howard's uncle!"

"So what! Not everyone gets to enter Central Corporation. You should be happy right now that you were hired regardless of whose uncle he is. Are you afraid that he'll help Howard and trouble you?"

Sharon frowned. She was not fazed because of it. It was just that she did not want to be related to anyone from the Zachary family.

At that moment, Sebastian came out of his room, holding onto his stomach. "Mommy, I'm having a stomachache."

Sharon heard him and thus quickly yanked him to her front. She touched his stomach. "What's wrong? Did you eat anything wrong in the kindergarten?"

Sebastian shook his head. "I don't know."

His little face was slightly pale, and his forehead was drenched in a cold sweat. Sharon knew her son well. He would not make a sound if it was not very painful.

"I'll bring you to the hospital now."

Riley got worried as well and quickly took the car keys. "I'll go start the car."

The two of them brought Sebastian to the hospital. The doctor checked on Sebastian before looking at Sharon and asking, "Did you say that you guys just came back from M Country yesterday?"

"Yeah." Sharon nodded.

"It’s a given then. There's no major problem with the child. Some poor acclimatization merely caused him to experience diarrhea and stomachache. I'll prescribe him some medication."

Sharon let out a breath of relief. "Thanks, doctor."

Sharon took the prescription and immediately headed over to the pharmacy because she had to feed her son with the medicine immediately. On the other hand, Riley stayed back in the ward to look after the little kid.

Not long after, Sharon reached the pharmacy. However, just when she was about to head back, she saw a surprisingly familiar outline when she took a turn.

She turned around and looked at the corridor opposite her. She saw Sally quite a distance away from her!

Even though they had not met each other for five years, she could still make out it was her with a glance!

Sally, who used to be Sharon's best friend, had snatched her wedding away from her and even snatched her man. How could Sharon forget about her?

Sally was talking to a male doctor that was wearing a big, white coat.

Sharon could not hear their conversation, but their gestures were intimate. Those who were unaware would think that they were a couple.

'Could it be that Sally is betraying Howard?'

Sharon fixed her gaze on the male doctor and looked at him with a sharp gaze. 'Why does that man's side profile look the same as… the man who was in the picture during the wedding!'

Sharon's body was rigid. Subconsciously she wanted to grab hold of that man and have a closer look. Suddenly, a human wall was seen blocking her from the front.

A man's deep voice was heard, "Sharon?"

She raised her head and saw Simon's face. The latter looked so much like her son. OnOnce again, she fell into a trance state for a moment but snapped out very soon because she was very eager to get ahold of the male doctor.

She pushed Simon away and was going to head over. However, the outline opposite the corridor was now nowhere to be seen. 'Sally and the male doctor are gone!'

"Who are you looking for?" Simon asked when he saw her looking anxious.

Sharon felt annoyed. 'They got away!'

She snapped out only to realize that Simon was looking at her. He was her superior, and she should not be so impolite.

Thus, she lowered her gaze to conceal the emotions dwelling in her eyes. "Perhaps I saw the wrong person."

"Are you sick?" Simon saw her holding some medicine in her hand.

Her gaze remained lowered. "My son is feeling a bit unwell, so I brought him here for him to have a check-up," she said before raising her head to look at him. She then raised a counter-question, "What are you doing here, President Zachary?"

Having heard her mention her son, Simon recalled the incident back at the airport. 'That little brat is innocent yet stubborn. Not to mention, he’s proud at the same time. Looking at him gives me a familiar feeling.'

He squinted his eyes and glanced at the lady before him with a sharp gaze. A sense of suspicion dwelled within him.

"What's wrong with him?" Without knowing, he asked for the little brat's condition.

Sharon did not think too much about it, "He had a stomachache because of poor acclimatization. The doctor has already prescribed him some medication."

Simon heard this, and his interest to tease the mother was piqued. "He will be fine if he eats less ice cream."

Sharon lifted her eyes to look at the man's thin lips that seemed to have formed a faint smile. 'What's wrong? His appearance that makes him seem as if he's smiling and yet not. It makes him look even more like my son!'

Just like that, she began to stare at the man absent-mindedly without blinking her eyes.

The man's handsome face came closer to her ear, and he said in his deep, attractive voice, "Do you know that it's very dangerous to look at a man with such a gaze?"
